Music fans held on to summer for one last weekend Aug. 31 to Sept. 2, as Laketown Shakedown completed the festival season at Laketown Ranch.
With great music, dancing, booze, food, and friends, it was a super windup to what has been a very busy year at the big facility just west of Lake Cowichan.
Besides Sunfest Country Music Festival, the massive marquee event held over the August long weekend, the site also hosted the big BC Summer Games opening ceremonies.
Laketown Rock, introduced last year to acclaim from fans, moved to the Canada Day long weekend this year, with significant success.
In addition, a trio of new Laketown Shakedown weekends was added to the lineup. The first was held over the May long weekend, the second over Cowichan Lake Days, and the third wound everything up over the Labour Day weekend.
